I’m gonna come right out and say it. I hated the original TRON. I thought it was unbelievably dull and disjointed. Of course, it made its mark through its groundbreaking effects, and will continue to be remembered for that. I just hope that the long-anticipated sequel can surpass the tedium of its progenitor.

I knew nothing about this for a long time, so I decided to seek out the trailer, and I’m pretty excited about it. It’s a nostalgic, bildungsroman film that tells a classic type of love story. Again, I hope it’s done well, because it is an oft-told tale. I like nostalgic films, and this really evokes that idealized (but maybe not completely so) view of first love.
